I’m old enough to remember “One Day at a Time”, also set along I-69.

I-69 was started in southern Indiana just months before the The Middle premiered in 2009! Whew.

keep digging WRTV

I read the article beginning to end. Thank you for the gift link. This is the quote I'll remember:

“One day he [Trump] sat on the plane with me [RFKjr]. We were talking about Syria, and he drew a map of the Mideast for me. And it was a perfect map,"

I just saw this meme - thought I'd share. bsky.app/profile/btar...

Thanks for sharing these very interesting photos and information. While it strays in places, the series remains faithful to Candice Millard’s excellent book, “Destiny of the Republic”, upon which the series is based. It is frightening how the course of history can be influenced by a lone madman.

I see that this book won’t be available until Feb-2026.

Well, one comes to mind - Terre Haute-based Britt Airways. In the 1980s, as a 20-something, I made dozens of teeth-clenching, ass-puckering, business flights on their 19-seat Fairchild Metroliners between Terre Haute and O'Hare. Each disembarkation felt like an exhilarating victory over death!😅

Beat me to it!

The River of Doubt: Theodore Roosevelt's Darkest Journey
by Candice Millard and also her book Hero of the Empire about Churchill and the Boar War.

The plot felt eerily similar to today: ‘others’ are the enemy, rewards for blind loyalty, pay to play, kick-backs, and of course there were the rallies.

Me learning, just now, that my recent birthday was a meme.

I saw your maps on display at the event.

“Fever in the Heartland” by Timothy Egan should be required reading for all Hoosiers. Thanks to @edfujawa.bsky.social for recommending it to me.

On my return ride from the memorial, it was jarring to see this blatant example of traffic violence along the B&O Bike Trail. A vehicle must have lost control at high speed, leaving 10th Street, and plunging across the separated B&O Trail crashing through a large section of wooden rail fence.

Perhaps this quote by ReVelle should be added to the sign: “As far as I’m concerned we came damn close to having a Bay of North Carolina.”
